Hot Glue Wax Seals, Embellishments and Stickers!

You'll need your Glue Gun...and Gluegun.com has tons of great ones...
or you might be lucky and win the giveaway here!
You'll also need a silicone mat...like a silpat or silicone hot pad.
Then you'll need something to make an impression with.
I actually had wax seals. They were my moms...I acquired them
when she died and haven't used them ever since then 14 years ago.
Finally!
But you could use things around the house...
like fancy brads or embellishments...
or screws!

Make a blob of hot glue on your mat...

Press your seals onto them and let them cool a minute.

Then, they peel right off!
I painted half of them light gold...the other half silver.
Then I used my metallic ink pads and just pressed
them over the tops of the hot glue seals.

Turning them shiny metallic!

These ones with the screws looked like stitched buttons!
Then I ran them through my sticker machine.
You could just stick them on with tape, glue or a glue dot...
but I managed to squish them through the machine.

Perfect, and great for a little Harry Potter Gift pack...
with quills and ink, some parchment paper,
a magic wand (also made of hot glue)
and maybe an owl!
Then write a fabulous letter with a quill and ink...
